This. He is knowledgeable and is a highly skilled shooter.

In the past (when I trained with Ayoob) he and his SO (Gail) both carried Glocks. At that time, he only carried something other than a Glock when he was being paid to write a "reviews" of a gun for one of the gun rags. Then he would carry that particular pistol for a few days before writing the typical "glowing" review the gun rags want.

Now that he works for (is sponsored by) Wilson, his current writings need to be taken with an even larger grain of salt.

ETA: Keep in mind that what Ayoob teaches about legal justification for shooting someone is based on what he considers to be defensible in any state. IOW he teaches the same material in all of his classes, irrespective of what state you're in. (I'm referring specifically to his 40-hour MAG40 classes). So you have to know enough about the laws in your state to be able to filter out about 5% of what be preaches.

The title of this thread and the YouTube short taken out of context is misleading. I mean, his full video basically says that a manual safety has the potential to add an unrealized benefit, but ultimately having a manual safety is up to each individual based on their situation. He also notes that guns that offer both are far more popular without safeties. It’s good information, even if you don’t intend to use one, if you have a friend or family member undecided on what they need in a particular situation, you can provide all the pros and cons of it.

I’ve never considered what I would carry if I was a LEO, but that piece of information that he shared would weigh heavily on my decision. As a CCW, not so much.
